The Tacoma speed shop touted the new (old) technology as a chemical combustion inhancer and they sold hundreds of them. For a few extra bucks you could even get enhanced water injection to help keep detonation down.

They also sold a bunch of small block rebuild kits and pistons to these same rich kids.

 

It used to be my '88 Mustang GT convertible, but after I got the Tiger going, the Mustang just wasn't quite as much fun. I topped out at around 145 with the Mustang, the Tiger will probably top that, especially after I get the new motor done. Just waiting on the heads, and the time to finish it. The main thing about the Tiger is that it's such a sleeper, not a lot of people know what it is, and don't expect a Ford V8 to be under the hood of such a small car. I have left some astonished Corvette and Porsche owners in my wake on many occasions. -TD

 

my 94 Bronco 5.8........

 

Take a look see in my gallery and you will see my 82 flareside with 350 hp. It will pul a low 13 1/4 once i get the traction bars, shifter, 3.25's (3.00 open curently) with posi, and K&N filter. Another car was my dad's boss 429 stang, thing would pop wheelie's on street tires.

 

I've had three hi-performance cars in my lifetime. The first was a '69 Chevelle SS396-375 hp, bright blue and a hydromatic 400. I swear I could get shift that manually and get rubber going from 1st to 2nd. Not much, mind you but, a bit of squeal. My second hi-po was a 73 Dodge Dart Sport 340. It was brown with a white strip going from the roof behind the rear passenger windows down the side upper body to the front end. They used to tag it the "convertriple" because it had a crank open sunroof and drop the back seat down and open a panel intothe trunk for carrying long items. Decent car with pretty good performance but, I kept having trans problems and finally got rid of it.
My third one was an '89 Mustang GT. Bright red with red interior and was one of my all time favorite cars. It moved pretty good, even my wife loved driving it. My two oldest sons were in their teens and drooled over it but, I'd never let them drive it.
I just remembered, there was a fourth. I got a little greedy back in '90 and bought a '90 T-Bird SC and had that along with the Mustang. That car could really move and had alot of nice features. I got it for my wife but, she didn't really want it so, we ended up getting rid of it a year later. Sold it for what I owed on it.

 

My fastest ended up being given to fordbeast_80. 1986 E150 302 AOD. When I had it it would do 125 easy. After Jon rodded the cats and put a 3" exhuast with an IronTuff muffler it could do 130. It could cruise at 100mph and not break a sweat. I gave it to Jon at 235,000 with one rebuild at 100,000. We don't know why but it just liked to run.

 

All you guys talking top speed reminded me I hadn't taken my car for a spin to see what it would do with the latest "enhancements"

Hit an indicated 285kph (about 177mph!!!) with still more to come...

 

my fastest ford i still own is my 2003 f-250 (366c.i.)6.0 power srtoke diesel crew cab,FX4,3.73 rear end with 395rwhp and 723rwtq and 1/4 mile time is 14.569 not bad for a 8,000 lb. truck

my other truck used to be a 1995 f-150 regular cab with a 1992 cobra 5.0 engine with a 5 speed tranny and 4.10 gears

 

I have only owned 2 fords, both 95 F-150s which are pretty slow. My current F-150's engine died...so I sorta own (vehicle i'm driving) is a 02 lightning, 13.8 in 1/4.

 

My fastest of all time was a GT40.. had it for a month, and couldn't get insurance for it, so I sold it. The second fastest was a modded '96 Lincoln Mk VIII - both vehicles could achieve speeds over 150 mph

 

GT40...my alltime favorite fast Ford! I'm envious! -TD

 

99 White Lightning. It would hold 141 MPH all day long. It was great at towing my boat too, but I had to take off slowly. If I didn't, it would just sit there and smoke the tires.

 

Torino Cobra 428 Cobra Jet and a top loader four speed

 

1964 Galaxie 500 , 390 Fairlane GT 4speed drive line , Balanced and blueprinted
with twin 650 double pumpers , shortened axles and a tubbed bum to put the tires inside .

Had it finished and on the road for 3 summers before marriage and family took priority and it was never shut down in the 1/4 mile by anything with 4 wheels .

 

Mine would be my 79 F100 shortbed. It has a 351M with an Edelbrock performer intake, Carter 625 4bbl, mild Crane cam, and dual exhaust. Last Sunday I took a buddy of mine to his first cruise nite. On the way home, I decided to show him how fast my truck is. I found a stretch of open road, and I gunned it! I got the truck up to over 100 mph, the needle was buried! My buddy said that was a major adrenaline rush! Now he wants to get a muscle car.
